Map Source Group

Map Source Group

The Map Source Group is a collection of properties for managing map sources, such as adding and deleting map sources, setting the resolution of the texture, the format of the map source, and more.

Map Source​

In UModelerX's painting mode, the concept of 'map source' refers to individual characteristics that make up a material, such as metallicity, color, roughness, etc. For example, in the Standard Material of Built-in RP project, the Main Maps group's Albedo, Metallic, Normal Map, Height Map, Occlusion, etc., correspond to the map sources. By utilizing map sources, you can represent multiple material properties on a single texture.

Properties​

MapSource List​

A list of map sources currently being applied to the material.

Resolution​

This property sets the resolution of the texture.

Format​

This property sets the format of the selected map source.

  • sRGB
    • This property represents the map source color using the sRGB color space.
  • RGB8
    • Property that represents the color of the map source using the 8-bit RGB color space.
  • L8
    • A property that represents the map source value using an 8-bit grayscale.

Shader Variable​

This property sets the name of the shader variable that will be applied to the selected map source.

Channel​

This property sets which of the texture's RGB channels the selected map source should be included in.

Background Color​

This property sets the default value for the map source to be displayed when no layer is visible.

Output​

Properties for the output of the texture.

  • Export
    • Button to export the current painting result as a texture.

Adding and Deleting Map Sources​

These are buttons marked with + and - symbols. You can add a new map source or remove the selected map source.

Add and Delete Map Source

Exporting a Map Source (Output)​

Export the colored results of the selected map source as .PNG or .TIFF files. Export All and Export a channel are exported as .PNG, while Export a channel with layers is exported in .TIFF format.
